Note from Artist: 
I LOVE these little Goldenback ferns as much as any bloom. You can find them starting to green up even before the snow has gone. They are so delicate and striking to look at, but really tough! I found this little guy growing in the path down by our seasonal creek. He probably wouldn’t have made it there for long, so I carefully took him up and laid him out to photograph for reference, keeping him moist the whole time. I transplanted him closer to the creek and away from the likelihood of heavy boots or deer hooves. The carving on this one was surprisingly difficult and tricky. The root system was amazingly intricate and the fronds were so tiny, but the challenge is what makes it fun! All color layers derived from the same block - reduction method printing.
